Planning, mobility, and counter guerrilla warfare

The process of solution identification is defined and structured as one of the four key components of the R & D planning process. Within the process some workable concepts of mobility are derived relating to the time factor in military operations. Data for the ballistic projectile hardware family are used to illustrate mobility capabilities. The counter guerrilla strategy of reaction to guerrilla actions is discussed and illustrative mobility requirements resulting from the strategy are displayed. A counter guerrilla system is deduced functionally and its mobility component is highlighted. Finally, the system feasibility test is described for the counter guerrilla mission, both for single targets and target complexes.
